[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
HugeReply(tm) incoming!

I'll look into this for you, see what the other CM devs say.

Yes, the camera HAL contains the code mentioned in the other link but we're still seeing some corruption, I'm not sure why yet.

- Calendar is working correctly here, including syncing with the Google calendar online.

- Hardware key backlight is controlled by the ambient light sensor, you can now override those values though, Settings > Display > Automatic Backlight > Use Custom setting the keys to 255 is on, 0 is off.

- Network mode after reboot. Will look into this one but likely a CM bug, not a device one.

- OMX issues. Confirmed, but this code is very new and still being worked on. I'll look into it though.

Not sure why we're still seeing the corruption, we're using Twisted's latest code and from the forum post it contains the fix for JPEG corruption =\

Hopefully fixing this today, it's the FFC-after-reboot bug.

This is a long-standing issue with no clear cause. It seems to come and go and happens on lots of devices and ROMs.

No idea why this happens. Are you unlocked via htcdev? If so are you flashing the boot.img separately as instructed in the first post?

Confirmed, will try and find out why.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Thanks for the reply Nexx. Wonder why the Calendar apk doesn't work for me unless I swap with a different apk. I use Smooth Calendar and after a new ROM flash, it reads "no calendar found or corrupt calendar" or something. And I can't seem to see anything when choosing calendars to sync. I'll look into it more on my end with the next release.

As for the custom backlight settings, I can't seem to get the lights to stay on persistently, or even come on. This is what I've had the settings to... I don't want any brightness adjustments just max brightness regardless of ambient light:

Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Hm do you get a lit button backlight if you run this in adb?

echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Yup, they light up. But they stay lit even when I turn the screen off lol.

Another thing I noted previously (regardless of the custom backlight settings) if I switched to automatic display brightness, the buttons would light up instantly. But they'd go off when I turned the screen off, and stay off even when I turned the screen back on.

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

Seems to work properly now when I keep automatic brightness enabled.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Hm...it could be because of the "-1" value measured by the sensor? You've set some values but the reading of the sensor shows -1...the range 0-10240 for which the settings apply is out

Maybe I'm wrong with this, bt I had once problems with sensor reading...solve it by pressing "Load defaults" then the sensor start working...then set the desired values and try to not change the number of steps...use 10 as they are for the start.
[HTC Desire S] KanocX:
Hey Nexx, at first, thx for the great new build :)

But I've got a problem with the newest nightly... When I want to start the camera app, it immediately crashes and a text box writes "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped."

Thx for now,

greetings KanocX ;)
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
have you flashed with full wipe or cache/dalvik only?

Go to Settings-Apps and go to All tab. Look for camera application and press Clear data...then retry to use camera

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC Desire S] KanocX:
Yes, of course, I wiped my phone completely... But now, I cannot try your second tip, because my default rom is cm7 and I need my camera... Sorry, already restored...
[HTC Desire S] faddys123:
Is this rom better than the aokp ice cream sandwich? In terms of features and stability and fixes?
[HTC Desire S] Isovitisgr:
Nexx is aware of the problem and if you read on post #1061 he said he might fix this today cause its a FFC-after-reboot bug.

You can use Proxuser's solution for now which is on post #1052 and hopefully your crashes will stop but you ll still have glitches...
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Update posted!

IMPORTANT: Regarding Face-unlock:

Face-unlock now works but there is a bug caused by the FFC crash work-around.

After a reboot, face-unlock will not function until you have gone into the Camera app at least once. This means on the first boot you will have to use your alternate unlock method (PIN / Pattern), launch and then close the Camera app and then things will function as expected.

I have linked this post from the OP until this bug is resolved.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Will this only have to be done once after flash?
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
After any reboot. I know it's not ideal but it's a start.
[HTC Desire S] kaijura:
Very interesting regarding the FFC. We're having issues too, it's minor but pretty major when it happens.

For some users in our vivo rom, FFC doesn't show up after an install unless rebooted, cache is cleaned or wiping clean, even then it's a gamble to get it to show.

I checked with the Mecha and they don't seem to be having problems, so I'm guessing it's something in the hal or our ffc configuration that causes our boards behave strangely.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Well, since twistedumbrella works on mecha and most of the fixes (all recent ones) for camera are his, the mecha should have it working :p

PS - Great work on this guys.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Loving the CM9 boot animation!

Also, I was thinking would it be possible to have nightlies? Like on the touchpad, they have a build bot for the nightlies.

But then you could bring out a build for anything major or device specific?

Just an idea. Might not be a good one :p
[HTC Desire S] jorgen2009:
The builds made by Nexx are heavily patched to get mic, graphics and camera work the way they do now. Those changes aren't merged in the CM9 tree yet. As the buildbot only builds from the merged ics tree, those builds would be a step back.

We have to wait for HTC to release the official ICS ROM and most of all the kernel sources for an optimized CM9 build
[HTC Desire S] thedieselspaceship:
I've just flashed the latest build. Unfortunately photoes are still corrupted :[
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
For me the cam works fine, but there's something wrong with the direction of the saved picture.

Sometimes it's upside down.

Try to delete app data of cam.

But I don't have any boot animation, or is there a trick?
[HTC Desire S] casaben:
- Front camera : Video call in Skype works but camera preview shows in portrait mode normal and landscape mode upside down. Strange thing is when turning the phone 180° (in either mode), the image in portrait is still correct and the image in landscape is still upside So a 180° turn doesn't change the image orientation :-) Could not cofirm yet how other side sees me. Camera app has same issue for front camera.

- Video recording not possible front- and rear cam. Tried with stock app and Camera Zoom FX. With Video Illusion, it does work but only so-so (bad quality/framerate).

- Face unlock works but that's an ugly face I'm seeing every time :-)

- Youtube works, and I installed youtube apk 3.5.5 for easy watching

- Google calendar doesn't sync, I don't even see it in Accounts and settings. When I clear data of calendar and calendar storage, and access it, I can sign in with my Google account, but then it says I already have an account (when saying sign in with existing account). It's in my calendar list (Gmail address), but when I click it it says No calendars found. I think this might be more of a Gapps issue ?

- Video in HW decoding crashes app (MoboPlayer, Rockplayer). But software decoding mode works very good anyways.

However, the 15 March build is definitely a progress!
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Possibly. Out FFC works but if you reboot and try to use the FFC before the rear camera, mediaserver crashes because something falls over when setting the parameters on the FFC. As of yet we've not figured out what.

See Jorgen's reply below ;) No nightlies yet a while.

I haven't seen it happen on this ROM yet I'm afraid.

Photo's being rotated is a known issue. TwistedUmbrella added code for the camcorder and it causes photos to be saved 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

As for the boot animation, the only reason for that not to appear would be if you've got it disabled somehow. I dunno if CM9 gives you the option to disable it.
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Calendar still doesn't work for me on 15th March version. I removed and re-added my Google account, everything syncs except the calendar. As shown:
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Bizarre, it works fine here, it always has:
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
That's weird indeed. Also weird how it doesn't say Calendar but com.android..blabla. Before the next update, I'll remove my google account first and then flash with a full cache/dalvik wipe and then add a new account from scratch and see if that makes a difference.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
If you really want an answer my answer is no, not yet. cm9 needs a bit of time but I'm sure after that it'll be top dog again
[HTC Desire S] casaben:
[15 MAR 12] ROM:

After loosing calendar sync, now my gmail refuses to sync as well.

Can't even get my mails in the gmail app anymore. It synced yesterday, 1 time only and then it was done.

Already deleted account, and restored it, deleted all Google apps data and cache.

Tried GApps 15/02 and 04/03.

Maybe it's required to delete all data when flashing ROM ? Not looking forward to that.

Anyone else having this issue?

UPDATE

-------------

Applied Gapps fixer, and now calendar is back and synced. Mail is visible from the Accounts and settings, but it refuses to sync.
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
The Rom can not download anything from the store. Shows that transfer, but does not transfer anything.
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
Calendar and Gmail working fine for me. Never had probs with them.

Delete the data of market/play and wait half a day,

then the market should work fine for you.

This is a problem (maybe caused) by Google after changing a Rom.

BTW: Does anybody know, if it`s possible to select/deselect the boot animation?

I searched in the whole settings but cannot find something similar.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Is it still present at a clean install?

Did you restore system settings or gmail with titanium backup?

Try it clean and don't restore data with titanium, add it yourself.

Mine works fine, here.

Great work nexx and all that collaborated :)
[HTC Desire S] casaben:
Did a full wipe of data, so actually a clean install. Now everything works. But I'm not planning on reinstalling my entire phone every time :-)
[HTC Desire S] jorgen2009:
That's the price you pay for playing with bleeding edge software. There is only one way to do it right with alpha software if you have a problem and that is to begin with a clean device that's the same for everyone:

Open your favorite Recovery (mine is 4EXT Recovery)

Wipe everything you can wipe: data, cache, Dalvik cache and optionally battery stats and your SD card. $EXT makes it easy for you by letting you format all partitions (except SD) in one go

Install the

MOST RECENT

version of the ROM of your choice

Reboot and test

Keep the install as clean as possible! When you do need apps, don't use Titanium Backup of something simular to restore things, but use the normal way of installing apps or settings

If things still don't work, use these forums to report the problem

Only this way it's possible for developers to reproduce things and helping them to improve the ROM
[HTC Desire S] ramiro.f:
Great to see you back in the game nexx, we all missed you :)

I don't have any video playback at all, not in gallery, YouTube, chrome, anything, I just get various versions of "this video cannot be played". Anyone else having the same issue?
[HTC Desire S] ck2009:
Hi guys,

Hopefully someone has experienced this.... and has a resolution :D

I used this ROM before and after switching between it and Reaper, I am stuck at the HTC screen when I flash this ROM again. I have wiped all partitions including data, system, cache and sdcard. Also wiped dalvik and battery stats but still no joy.

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:

Same issue while switching to CM9 from a different Rom. Then, I tried restoring an earlier CM9 backup from recovery & then flashed the new version as an update (after cache & dalvik wipe)! Worked that way..

Btw, anyone else having issues transferring & receiving files via Bluetooth!? Phone pairs ok.. But, unable to transfer or receive...

Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
I noticed that I can't receive a file from my laptop onto my phone on the latest version, but it worked fine on the last February version.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
New update posted. FFC camera issues fixed so camera app and face-unlock now work on boot without the nasty hacks.

To those with issues flashing the ROM. Please try flashing using a stable release of 4ext Recovery, or better, the ClockworkMod Touch Recovery. I do all my testing with CWM Touch so I can't verify the ROMs flash on 4ext.

Also, if you have your bootloader unlocked via HTCDev, you have to flash boot.img separately, recovery can't flash the boot image on HTCDev unlocked devices because they're not truly S-OFF.

Works without problems. Also face unlock is working perfect for me.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
no FC here.

Face unlock works great!
[HTC Desire S] Ovigo:
New version works without problems for me too. Face Unlock seems very finicky to me, but that's probably just because it finds my face so ugly or something. FFC as well as back camera work for me, in panorama mode too. Still some imaging artefact in the lowest part. I like how I can set the vibrate duration of key-presses though that probably isn't a CM feature. One little bug in the power widget (I think I've seen it mentioned before, but not sure): the torch button doesn't show up if selected. Also had one random reboot in the browser.

And videoplayback in Youtube is perfect, though the gallery and other players still have stuttering problems for me.

Also in Maps, I noticed that while my location is easily enough found, the orientation does not work. So I get a blue dot for my location instead of an arrow. Androsensor gives under orientation: "waiting for event". Can anyone confirm this behaviour, or is it my device? I know I had the same problem in Virtuous Quattro, but never had any problems on GB ROMs.

The browser feels MUCH more responsive than in VQ.

Keep up the good work!

While tweaking the light levels for the autobrightness I found a bug.

I had already thought the screen often appeared to be much brighter than necessary. I found while playing with a lamp and the shadow that while the autobrightness does respond to it getting lighter, the brightnes stays high if the surrounding gets darker again. The buttons do light up again, but the screen stays on 255 as well.

Edit: I found tat the allow light decrease option fixes this. Why is this not enabled by default and what does the decrease hysteresis option?

[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
There's a bit of advice in the "GPS Status" app. It tells you to calibrate your compass to get a good GPS fix. You do this by rotating the phone two or the times around each axis.

So I do that when I've installed a new ROM. And, though not absolutely necessary, I change the ntp time source using FasterFix.

And that's it!
